    Formatting cells based on another cell date range

    example.xlsxIs there a way to format a cell based on another cells date?

    What we are trying to show is a range, and if another cell's date falls between tha previous range, it will be highlighted.

    EX: Please see attached file.

    On between values you just select cells A4 and B4 to set the range.

    You mean cell C4 changes color backgroung (with no text) if cell C2 has a date between the dates interval A4 and B4?

    Correct.

    The original spreadsheet had an (and) formula but my co-worker deleted the formula.
